This is a great place to stay! Conveniently located to enjoy Suagatuck and Douglas with a very small drive. Then to return to a quiet restful spot. One of our favorite spots we have stayed at and we look forward to returning in the future!

There is not a thing that I would change about this place. Rob could not have been a better innkeeper. The place was so well managed and maintained. Rob had every thing you may need. Pool was a big seller for me. Evenings around the fire pit was great also. Great music that played most of the time. A real throw back to earlier days of vacation stays. Highly recommend and will definitely be back!

Parking was easy. We didn’t need AC since nights were cool. Mosquitoes were out at dusk and dawn so bring bug spray. We just needed to stay a night so we could meet up with cousins for dinner between our trip from Chicago to Cleveland. So we did not make use of the other amenities.

Beautifully landscaped, felt more private than it probably was, rooms were small (we had two queen sized beds, so I’m sure that’s part of it) and the bathroom was even smaller but clean!! Beds and pillows are definitely above average. Check in was a breeze. Very, very quiet which was particularly important to me. I appreciate the assigned parking spots. The only thing I wish were different is being able to get coffee before 9:00 am.

Darling place. Relaxed atmosphere. In the evening we sat outside chatting with other guests. It was early May so too early for the pool but it looked cute. Price was right. Only complaint was no coffee in the room and community coffee didn’t start until nine. If you’re early risers, bring a small keurig and coffee pods with you. Or drive to the gas station.
